A name--maybe

We have been struggling with a name for baby boy. With time ticking down, I need your opinion. I think we have narrowed it down to Benjamin or Jeffrey with middle names of Joel, Benjamin (if we name him Jeffrey), Jeffrey (if we name him Benjamin), or David. I won't tell you the ups and downs of each name we have chosen, I just want to know what you think. I also want to know if you have any other good names. Nothing too out of the ordinary, yet not in the top 10 names. Please help!

They are all good names. With my husbands family everything seems to be shortened (which is why I was specific about Nathan) - which a lot of people like - so it might be Jeff or Ben if you choose one of those. So if you like the shortened version also . . . maybe that helps? David is good, it can't be shortened.

33 Days left - crazy!!!

I like Jeffrey, but I am a little biased. BTW - I have the pump to give back to you, but Aaron didn't want to carry it on his motorcycle this morning. Hee hee!

Okay..here is my "vote"...
I love the name Benjamin. Justin was almost a Benjamin. It was on the "list" of names for both boys. I love Benjamin Joel, but I also love Austin. I have a thing with naming a boy Austin because Potter is our last name. It sounds too much like Austin Powers. so YOU take Austin! like Austin Joel.....just my two cents!

I like Austin as well, my best friend up in Dallas has an Austin and I love his name. Austin Joel sounds really good. I don't like David just because it's over used in this family. We had to use it because really it is Jer's first name, but if I had my choice I would have gone with something else. I'm done naming kids after the Harrison's anyway, from now on they get names from my family. Jeffrey is ok, but I'm sure he'll be called Jeff, which reminds me of the 80's for some reason. I guess it just depends on what nick name you like the most. You know the Harrison's will shorten it for you, whatever you pick. I'm sure he'll be a cutie no matter what you pick and his name will fit him, for some reason they always do.

Definitely Benjamin. Or Sausage. Maybe Benjamin Sausage?

Oh, I love that Pioneer Day is a holiday in UT. I miss that! You look so good! And so close to having this little guy. We are finally on the other side of the pregnancy thing and trying to get used to the two child gig. It's not too bad, but tiring! I love the name Jeffrey, and Benjamin is cute too. Good luck - names are so hard! Can't wait to see some pictures of that little guy when he gets here.
